Currently, STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS, is number 8 in total box office sales, Does anybody know if during any of the past STAR TREK MOVIES has any movie gone back up after dropping to 8 before? Please advise??

Why put the next Star Trek film into a summer slot? Why not another slot, where it can dominate the market?

Studios sometimes try that, but the lower traffic outside of the summer and the November/December frame makes it a risky proposition for big budget films. March is the best month outside of the summer and the end-of-year holidays, but March has only delivered two films that have grossed over $250 million domestic and six that have grossed over $200 million domestic.

For the most part, but there are exceptions. Look at The Hobbit from last year, did very well in the box office.

Star Trek's not The Hobbit.The Hobbit would have been competitive at any time of year; it doesn't follow that if one is concerned that a movie can't keep up with the competition it makes sense to move it to a less lucrative release date.
